Day 26: Ventura, CA to Manhattan Beach, CA

10/5/2013

Past Oxnard, more hugging the coastline. Views will be great but traffic, Santa Ana winds, and lots of rollers will make this 69-miler exhausting coming off back-to-back difficult rides. Traversing beach-goers through Santa Monica, I'll say goodbye to my CCC friends and Links for Life teammates at Gladstones, and continue on solo to Manhattan Beach.

Thank you and good-bye to my two favorite Arthritis Foundation people, Beth and Amy

The winds are absolutely brutal - this is going to be looooooong day

Give a guy a lift?

Looks beautiful but it's brutiful

I hate Malibu - there, I said it.
Picture
On second thought, any town that has one of these can't be all bad - plus, the wind finally died down in Malibu
Picture
The wind had died down at this point but I would have paid to see this dude cycling earlier, even in a crosswind
Picture
...better yet, I'd pay to be sitting on that deck with a cold beer
Picture
Manhattan Beach......finally!

    On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

    On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.  
    While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement.  I'm going to need all the help I can get!

    For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.  

    If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.
